I have been very absent from ActiveRain for a long time. Life has been pretty busy and so has real estate. But sometimes you find something that is so share worthy that I feel it would be a shame not to share this video I ran across this morning. I'm making a vow to make something unexpected happen for someone this week and it would be really nice if you were motivated by this amazing young man to do the same.

Hi Tammy Lankford, - I can't believe that one of my dear AR friends from Georgia posted an inspirational and motivational speech from a student at one of my very own local High Schools in Plano, TX!!! Before 6 minutes ago, I didn't know about it. Isn't that a shame.

I know you're busy with work and other things. Please take care of yourself and know you're missed.

Carol Williams I have a CP special needs child in my life (unofficial adopted grandson) and I am always looking for ways to encourage him and feel other parents with special needs children should not miss this if I have anything to do with it.

Kathy Streib I'm so thankful business is strong but I miss the faces and great times here.
